How did supermassive black holes get big so fast? Astrophysicist Souphie Koudmani tells us how she and her colleagues are finding out.

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

That’s why theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski, Ph.D., asked a big question back in 2010: what if black holes don’t contain a singularity at all? Instead, Poplawski’s theory suggests ...

A new study reveals that black holes’ inner dynamics may challenge traditional models like the Kerr solution. This research indicates that black holes may be less stable than previously thought due to ...

Black holes have two parts. There is the event horizon, which you can think of as the surface, though it’s simply the point where the gravity gets too strong for anything to escape. And then, at the ...

Black holes continue to captivate scientists: they are purely gravitational objects, remarkably simple, yet capable of hiding mysteries that challenge our understanding of natural laws. Most ...

What you know as the “singularity” at the center of a Black Hole stems from this relatively simple math. Once the Schwarzschild radius is equal to the radius of the point in question ...

But simple it isn’t. General relativity’s equations fail catastrophically at a black hole’s centre, known as its singularity, where the warping of space-time simply goes off the scale.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
